Parian - a high-quality, unglazed porcelain - was developed in the
early 1840s by Copeland & Garrett, which was the first company
to exhibit it in 1845. Its purpose was to provide small sculptures
for the public at a time when full size marble statues were gracing
the homes of wealthy people. Parian - Copeland's Statuary Porcelain
tells this fascinating story in detail, beginning with its origin
and introduction. The book goes on to describe the manufacturing
processes of mould-making and the casting of the figures. Also
included is a comprehensive catalogue of Copeland's productions of
statuettes, groups and portrait busts.
